The most effective thing you can probably do is start reaching out to people you know, however your network is constituted. Check in and find out if anyone knows of anything available. Beyond that, get your resume in top shape, and get your LinkedIn profile updated and looking sharp. And start serious brainstorming about where you want to work, or what kind of work you want to be doing. It's a tough job market, so the sooner you gear up and get going the better off you will be.

Hi all! I’m looking to connect with folks who either work at Coinbase or have interviewed recently for the Business Operations and Strategy Manager or similar role.

Again if you have any experience/advice on this, I’m ready to listen.

Thanks in advance! Help me escape Deloitte pleaseeee. I want this job sooo much!

Hi everyone. I was a solution engineer at Oracle. I graduated from college in May and this was my first job out of college so the lay offs were pretty rough.

I would like to stay in tech and I’m giving it a few weeks before I start pivoting to more traditional supply chain roles. Thanks.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
